Science mission — no cargo capacity
Space Coast defence and aerospace electronics manufacturing. Residual launch capacity routed through Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and Kennedy Space Center LC-39A.
Melbourne anchors the Space Coast's manufacturing side rather than its launch side: L3Harris builds space and defence electronics here, Embraer runs its US assembly line, and a dense tier-two supplier base has grown up around both.
Cargo leaving Melbourne for orbit consolidates at Orlando Melbourne (MLB). From there it routes to Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and Kennedy Space Center LC-39A. Under an hour up US-1 or I-95 — the shortest terrestrial leg of any city on this list. Charterspace lists the residual capacity on flights that are already leaving, so what is open from these sites changes as providers release it.
Nothing on this page is a guaranteed service. Residual capacity is sporadic by nature — most of the time there is none open from any given site, and a leg listed today may be gone tomorrow. Payloads bound for orbit are subject to export control, hazardous-materials rules and the launch provider's own acceptance criteria, all of which are settled before anything is booked. If nothing here matches what you need to ship, tell us and we will look at the routes that are not listed.
This list is filtered to legs departing from the launch sites Melbourne is served by, not everything on the platform.
